I was planning a Louisiana trip for Saint Patrick’s Day 2023, but my travel vehicle is making noise and needs repair badly. Travel delay jinxed the plan. A few more days for travel launch.

Wishing For Gumbo
My upcoming road trip to New Orleans has me dreaming of gumbo every night. I can’t wait!

Travel Urge
I greatly feel homesick for the south this time of year. The people and places were amazing the years I lived in Texas and Louisiana. Dating in Virginia sucks crap. I have never liked anything in Virginia, and even dislike the beach areas as shown below. My travel urge has hit epic levels.
It is very strange that they put a statue of a huge naked guy with no pants beach-side.

Grocery Day
After going to teaching work today I bought my mom $75 in groceries including bananas. Like I have done hundreds of times before.

Abusive Cousin
I have an abusive cousin named Zathyn who my mom has been forcing me to let stay at my house on and off. This is how mean he is becoming. I showered many times, helped my mom pay rent, gas, and bought her groceries. Also I worked all this and last week as a teacher. He locked me out of the bathroom to force me to take a cold shower. Should I call the cops on him? It is thing one million making me want to leave Virginia.
If I don’t say anything people only hear his version of the story. This is why I am so silent frequently is my abusive family tortured the urge to talk out of me.

No Basement
By Andrea E. Menzies 01/29/23
Internet Rant of the week and Podcast Cross Promotion: New Orleans has NO basements! This rant is not MY rant alone as the book series became a cable TV show. The show has changed MUCH of the books to bring them to film. Some of this is a necessary evil in that TV and books are NOT the same publication format. Yet many of the changes are melodramatic and strangely contradicting the book plot. Why BUY the rights of a a bestselling book if you are going to mutilate it into an unrecognizable format? So far they have cut the characters Michael Curry and Aaron Lightener completely and they are MAIN characters. Making the Talamasca character of Aaron young destroys the Van Helsing metaphors from the original Dracula book inherent to that character. Then the drama goes wild as they have a nurse go into a basement and get killed. This is NOT in the books! In fact ALL the cemeteries in New Orleans are ABOVE ground because the soil will let NOTHING be constructed underground! The photo I have attached is an above ground cemetery I photographed in New Orleans in 2019. It is a famous tourist fact announced on all tours! Which begs the question why did they put people who know NOTHING about New Orleans in charge of a famously New Orleans based story that was a best seller book? Almost every book podcast I read or heard went wild on that point: New Orleans has NO Basements. They are filming in New Orleans but have much to learn. It is strange like as if they went to Paris and said the Eiffel Tower did NOT exist. I hope they do better next week, but I still like the show and podcast “The AMC Mayfair Witches Podcast” online. They mentioned the uncle character IS played by the Perseus actor from Clash of the Titans, and that alone is worth a listen to the podcast as they do a snake dance that is super funny.

Teacher Update
By Andrea Menzies 01/24/2023
Special Note: I am STILL working as a teacher in Chesterfield. I got the job with my completed University degree being verified, and I passed all criminal background checks back in the year 2019 when I was hired. Here are some of my latest classroom photos from this week’s projects pictured below. In addition I work two other jobs, and donate plasma. They drug test you REGULARLY when you plasma donate, and I passed ALL drug tests as clean. I point this out because I got an e-mail this week that a bitter wanna-be ex-boyfriend from a past job was spreading lies that I was an opioid drug addict. I would NOT be able to do teaching work, or plasma donation if this was true. Background checks and drug tests would have gotten me LONG ago as they check VERY carefully, and constantly, at both plasma and teaching centers.
Every year I watch teacher videos on “no sexual harassment in the workplace” and think “this could never happen” then I am sadly proven wrong when I open the newspaper. Please be aware that MANY men single and married have lost lawsuits for falsely accusing women of job or drug misconduct when they are REALLY bitter about being refused for dating and sexual advances in the workplace. Do people think sexual harassment offenders put on a billboard next to a freeway what they are doing? No they disguise it as “helpful” information. Many men hate competing with women for education, jobs, and money. This is where the anger is REALLY coming from in gender prejudice. I have been battling this so often in Virginia my voice is horse from repeating it at this point. No means no, and no woman owes men intimacy regardless of background.
